How to see if a contact has blocked you in WhatsApp - in detail?
To determine whether a contact has blocked you on WhatsApp, observe the following signs and behaviors:
- Profile Picture: If you can't see the person's profile picture, it might indicate that they have blocked you. However, this could also be due to their privacy settings allowing only contacts to view their photo.
- Status Updates: You won't be able to see any updates from the contact's status if they have blocked you. This is a strong indicator of being blocked.
- Last Seen/Online: The "last seen" or "online" status will not update for the contact who has blocked you. It might show as an old timestamp, or it could be blank.
- Messages: When you try to send a message, it may not deliver and instead shows only one checkmark (indicating that it left your device but hasn't been delivered). If you see this consistently, it could mean the contact has blocked you. However, poor internet connectivity can also cause this issue.
- Calls: You won’t be able to call the person if they have blocked you. The call will fail to connect, indicating that the number might not exist or is unavailable.
- Group Interactions: If the contact was part of a group with you and has left the group, it could suggest that they have blocked you. In some cases, you may still see their messages in the group chat, but interactions like read receipts (double checkmarks) will not appear for your messages.
- Search Functionality: If you search for the contact by name and they don’t appear in your contacts list, it might indicate that they have blocked you. However, ensure that their number is still saved in your phone's contact list.
- WhatsApp Web/Desktop: The behavior on WhatsApp Web or Desktop will be consistent with the mobile app. Look for the same indicators mentioned above to confirm if the contact has blocked you.
